Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 11, 2025
Here's the deal: we collect only what we need to make Palabra work, and we don't sell your data. Ever. Let's go through the specifics.
What we collect
- Your email and name — so you can log in and we can address you by name
- Words you save — that's the whole point of the app
- Context sentences — the sentence around a word helps us get better translations (we strip out obvious personal info like emails and phone numbers)
- Source websites — knowing where you found a word helps us organize your exercises better
- Your language preference — so we translate to the right language
- Usage counts — to enforce fair-use limits and improve the service
- How you practice — which words you know, which need more work (so we can personalize your learning)
Who sees your data
We share the minimum necessary with services that help us run Palabra:
- Translation services — your words (and sometimes context) go to professional translation APIs to get accurate translations
- AI services — we use AI to generate personalized exercises based on your vocabulary
- Email service — if you opt in to product updates, we use an email service to send them
- Infrastructure — we use cloud services for hosting and authentication
We do NOT sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. We don't track your general browsing — just the words you save and your practice progression.
Your rights
You're in control. You can:
- Get a copy of your data — email us and we'll send it
- Delete your data — email us and we'll wipe everything within 30 days
- Unsubscribe from emails — every email has an unsubscribe link
- Complain to authorities — if you're in the EU, you can lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
How long we keep it
- While your account is active — your vocabulary and progress stay as long as you want them
- After you delete your account — everything is removed within 30 days
Cookies
We use cookies only to keep you logged in. No tracking cookies, no third-party analytics sneaking around. Just the essentials.
Children
Palabra is for users 13 and older. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you're a parent and believe your child has signed up, please contact us.
Changes
If we make significant changes to this policy, we'll email you before they take effect. No surprises.
